When we bring bags and backpacks to certain public events here (Like Summerfest) they do a quick check inside your bag. I'm sure many of the people walking through the crowd that day had backpacks, Just walking along the sidewalk didn't mean they were attending the event and I'm also sure some of the runners left backpacks full of stuff with family members in the sidelines (Baby wipes to wash up/fresh clothes/favorite sports drinks etc.) Plus many women carry huge purses so those would have to be banned too, If we let the terrorists dictate every move we make then they are winning.

Could be like Portland, Oregon.
In 30 days it will be illeagle to carry a loaded gun within the city limits.
Guards at banks will be allowed, but not at credit unions.
The Portland marathon is coming up.

I think our nation should rise up against the so called intelligence agencies who have missed the opportunity to PREVENT known terrorists from acting on their devious attacks.

There are other options such as see through back packs since every single terrorist attack planned with the exception of Boston has been thwarted by average Americans, despite the failures of intelligence!

Ultimately, people are not going to be willing to put up with a criminal justice system that enforces a crime control model capable of actually impacting crime. People LIKE having some rights go to the defendant, because when it is YOUR loved one standing trial, you want the court to presume them innocent until proven guilty. As we lose more and more rights to these repeated panicked responses, the policies we implement do little to prevent further crimes, and instead are simply punishment for the sake of punishment it seems. I mean, we're slowly having our Miranda rights stripped away from us, and many do not even know it: http://www.huffingtonpost.com...
